Intro

Hit the road

Part of the fun of festivals is always the anticipation of getting there, and arriving at the site to see a city full of lights appear over the horizon.

This is doubly exciting, of course, if you've travelled hundreds of miles to get to your musical destination. Here we'll be looking at some of the more exotic festivals out there - the ones that are worth hopping on a plane, train or boat to get to...

Iceland Airwaves

5-9 November, Iceland

Headliners: The Flaming Lips, Unknown Mortal Orchestra, Pins

Location: Various venues, Reykjavik, Iceland

Best reason to go: Reykjavik is a magical little city, and you'll have a great time hopping between its venues to catch a range of new talent and established heroes.
